Default Bad weather - time for H/C etc.

The weather finally took a big dump in central Illinois and I've been doing the homework, searching the archives and IMing forum members. I dropped off my '02 Coupe yesterday at the tuner's shop, Rob Bond. I'm putting in the G5 cam, LGM headers,ported throttle body, Vortex Power Duct, U/D pulley and porting the heads and replacing valves, springs, retainers, pushrods and timing chain and tuning with dyno/LS1 edit. I'm at 342 rwhp now with Blackwing, Stingers with Bassani X-pipe, NGK's, 160 Thermostat and Royal Purple Fluids. Can't WAIT. We really have been lucky with the weather up until now, only losing 6 or 7 days to snow. Probably about the time it is done we will be paying the piper with the biggest snow of the season and I won't even be able to get it out of the shop :mad

Let me know how the headers work out for you.. I almost have the same setup as you with a few exceptions. I'm thinking about LGM headers in the future, but will have to wait for now. :cheers:
